Lobster Mushroom

Latin: hypomices lactiflorum onrussula

This is not a mushroom, but rather a parasitic “ascomycete” that grows on mushrooms (russula), turning them a reddish orange color that resembles the outer shell of a cooked lobster. Unique to North America, this fungus is delicious. It has a firm and tender texture, is white on the inside and gives recipes a brilliant saffron color. It goes well with fish and meat and tastes slightly like seafood.

Vitamins and Minerals:
The lobster mushroom has high amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fibers. Calcium and iron are also found.More Details

Use and Preservation:
Can only be dried not frozen and it will keep its flavor.

Vitamin B1, also called thiamin. Vitamin B1 is part of a necessary energy coenzyme, mainly from carbohydrates we eat. It also participates in the transmission of nerve impulses and promotes normal growth.

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin. Like the B1 vitamin, vitamin B2 plays a role in the energy metabolism of our cells. In addition, it contributes to the growth and repair of tissues, the creation of hormones and the formation of red blood cells.

Vitamin B3, also called niacin, is involved in many metabolic reactions and particularly contributes to the production of energy from carbohydrates, fats, proteins and alcohol we consume. It collaborates in the process formation of DNA, allowing normal growth and development.

Vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid, is part of a key coenzyme allowing us to use adequately the energy from the food we eat. It also participates in several steps of the synthesis (fabrication) of steroid hormones, neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses) and hemoglobin.

Vitamin B6, plays a role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the manufacture of insulin and histamine (a substance that occurs during allergic reactions) in the production and digestion of amino acids. This vitamin is absorbed from the intestine and a large part is found in the muscles.

Vitamin C orascorbic acid is used in the manufacture of collagen, maintaining the immune system, wound healing, in the formation of red blood cells and to facilitate the absorption of iron from vegetables. Cannot be synthesized by the body, it must be drawn from the daily diet. It is soluble in water but very fragile, as air, light and heat can easily alter it.

Vitamin D works closely with the health of bones and teeth, making them available calcium and phosphorus in the blood, among others for the growth of the bone structure. It also plays a role in the maturation of the cells, including the immune system. The main source of vitamin D is in the sunlight, because UV exposure triggers the creation of vitamin D in your skin. It is important to have a sufficient amount of this vitamin to allow calcium to be absorbed and used properly.

Vitamin E prevents oxidation of certain chemicals in the body. Oxidation is a mechanism associated with the production of free radicals that are involved in the onset of many diseases. Vitamin E protects cell including those of the skin and helps slow aging skin membranes.

Vitamin K is one of coagulation. It is fat-soluble; it prevents and treats osteoporosis, inflammatory diseases and cardiovascular disorders.

Copper is important in the development of hemoglobin and collagen (protein used in the structure and tissue repair) in the body. Several copper-containing enzymes in various biochemical reactions contribute to the creation of red blood cells and also in defending the body against free radicals.

Selenium this mineral works with a key antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which purges the body of toxins, which contributes to the metabolism of vitamin E which prevents the development of free radicals in the body. It also helps convert thyroid hormones in their active form. The majority of commonly consumed mushrooms have significant amounts of this important mineral which has a positive influence on the brain.

Phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body after calcium. It plays an essential role in the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. In addition, he participated among others in the growth and regeneration of tissues and helps maintain normal blood pH. Finally, phosphorus is one of the constituents of cell membranes.

Potassium is found in large quantities in mushrooms. In the body, potassium is used to balance the pH of the blood and stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and promoting digestion. In addition, it facilitates muscle contraction, including that of the heart, and is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses.

Iron is into the compounds of each of our cells. This mineral is essential for transporting oxygen and the formation of red blood cells. In addition, it stores oxygen and detects the failure in the blood. It also plays a role in the production of cells, hormones and neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses). Many enzymes depend on the iron supplement for their biochemical processes.

Zinc including immune reactions involved in the production of genetic material, the perception of taste, wound healing and the development of the fetus. This mineral also interacts with sexual and thyroid hormones. In the pancreas, it is involved in the synthesis, the reservation and release of insulin.
